Lighthouse of Punta Brava or Punta Carretas
Opening October 1, 1876
Height: 21 meters above sea level
Light (originally) fixed white, visible 10 miles in clear weather.
Since 1948 every 10 seconds interspersed red flashes to differentiate it from other lighthouses and buoys. It remains very important for navigation of fishing boats that go to the English's sandbank, or the Buceo Harbor, or at the entrance of the Santa Lucia River. In 1962 it was linked to the electricity network.
